Spike Jonze's Her is unique. It is unlike any other movie I've seen this year - or any year for that matter. It is aesthetically beautiful, succeeding in building a complete "new" world. Architecture, clothes and above all how people communicate with each other. And it doesn't feel the need to fill you in on this world with tiring exposition. The viewer just discovers it as the movie goes along.

This is my second viewing. I think Cotillard's performance will be as influential as Brando's Stanley. The naturalness she brings and the disappearing act she performs are unprecedented. The critics got it right and actors will be studying and imitating her for years.
